OK, so I have an admission to make – I LOVE IKEA. I can’t help but fall for the bargain bookcases, and their marvellous meatballs. Yes, I do have enough tealights thank you, and more Scando-named storage boxes than you can shake a Grundtal hanging rail at, but there’s always room for more! On my last trip, I found this black and white cat print cushion for £3.50. It’s called Mattram, and you can also get matching curtains and fabric.…

“Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the sea!” The weather outside may be frightful, but you can warm yourself up with summer memories all year round by giving your home the seaside look. You don’t have to limit this look to your bathroom either – there are some great pieces out there for all rooms in your house, and to suit all budgets. How about some of these….. This beach…

I’ve recently acquired my own office space. After years of not having one, I’ve finally got a few square metres all to myself and it’s lovely.

That sort of thing is not clever. Instead there are a whole range of interior products which scream English country life without having to get violent. Mind you, I have seen a tussle in John Lewis over a duvet set before, but that’s another story for…

Interior trends – pugs, pugs, pugs I saw this awesome cushion in Tesco the other day. Isn’t he cute? I’m not a huge dog fan but there’s just something about pugs which I love. I don’t know whether it’s because they always look so unimpressed with everything, or their little noses, but there’s no doubting that pugs are everywhere in interiors these day. Here’s my pick of the best puggy products out there right now. This wall transfer of a…

I found this little chap in ASDA’s home department this week – isn’t he cute? He could be straight out of a Michaelangelo oil painting. Renaissance style is a big trend for this Autumn.
